OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTING TOOL

摘要

The present invention relates to an optical fiber connection jig which is small in size, lightweight and excellent in portability, and also is simple in structure, and also can be produced at a low cost, and besides enables an optical fiber-connecting operation at the field to be carried out easily and positively. <??>In the present invention, the optical fiber connection jig 30 is of such a construction that it includes a jig body 31 having wedge pieces 39 which are fitted respectively into wedge insertion slits in a splice member 4 by a grasping operation for a pair of left and right grasp frames 33, 35 opposed to each other with the splice member 4 disposed therebetween, thereby forcibly expanding an optical fiber holding groove 8, and a fiber insertion guide 32 which is mounted on the jig body 31, and guides a coated optical fiber 19 generally onto a center axis of the optical fiber holding groove 8 by a coated fiber guide groove 75 extending in a direction of the center axis Y1 of the optical fiber holding groove 8. <IMAGE>
